Novel & Cerita Finn X Fern

spoken with a deep warmth that sent a shiver down Annie’s spine. She instantly blushed and looked away, lips pressed in a tight line as she mumbled a protest. “That wasn’t me—Amber was teasing, that’s all. Don’t take it seriously.” But Finn only smiled wider, his eyes curling with amusement as he leaned in just a little. “Well… what if I insist on taking it seriously?” His cedar-and-musk scent wrapped around her like a soft cloud, warm and familiar. Annie lowered her gaze shyly, flustered by the closeness.

I didn't say anything; I just turned to the forest and shifted into Fenrir and ran into the afternoon sun. I ran until my legs were pounding with pain. Finally deciding to rest, I shifted and sat by a small stream, listening to nature with my eyes closed. I had nearly settled for ten minutes when I heard a rustle in the bush. When I looked up, it was a man… or rather… Xander. I closed my eyes and turned my back to him. "I told you, Kael…" he chuckled. "Their fates are intertwined, and the chances of them being together as long as Finn is alive are high."

The bar's dim lighting cast shadows across Elena's face, making her expression even more forbidding. Fern leaned forward, her blonde curls catching the light as she moved. "Their scents have mixed," she said, her tone matter-of-fact. "That wouldn't have happened without a true mate bond." Lily felt a rush of warmth towards Fern, grateful for her unwavering support. She inhaled deeply, savouring the subtle blend of her own jasmine scent with Caspian's woodsy aroma. It was a tangible reminder of their connection, one that even Elena couldn't deny.

He nodded, taking his phone and sitting closer to me. My heart skipped a beat, swallowing hard when the skin of our arms touched. When I looked at Finn, he smiled sheepishly. “Actually, I don’t have much from here except a few videos of my family,” he muttered, opening his phone’s gallery. “Show me Freya. I wanted to meet your sister.” When Finn looked at me and pursed his lips, I copied his puppy eyes. “Please. I wanted to see your twin sister.” “S-Sure,” he nodded, opening a video and giving his phone to me. “But this is the last video I have with her.”

So, I found a job by the sea, opening clams and picking out the prettiest pearls—like finding little secrets the ocean had left behind. For someone like me, a mermaid who’d grown up in the deep sea, it was second nature. What I didn’t expect was to see someone I knew. One afternoon, as I worked, a mantis shrimp suddenly blocked my path. I looked closer and froze. It wasn’t just any mantis shrimp. It was Sawyer, the Mantis Shrimp King. My eyes went wide, and without thinking, I threw myself into his arms. Sawyer stiffened in surprise. "Prin... Princess..."

"Did Alexis tell you that when she asked her parents for a musical instrument the only one they could get her was a triangle because she totally sucked at the rest of the instruments?" Alexis gasped outrageously. "I should not have told you that, Meg!" The new girl chuckled and extended her hand towards me. "Meg. The Beta Female. Nice to meet you, Luna." Slowly, my hand travelled up to grasp hers in a handshake that was blissfully short. I looked down as quickly as I let go. "My name is Adrienne. Not Luna." There was a brief silence like she didn't know what to do with that but she quickly covered it up with a smile. "Okay then. Adrienne it is."

Fern rarely bought snacks for her, and she was a well-behaved girl who did not clamor to buy this or that. Rue obediently sat on the sofa while eating and watching TV, not disturbing their conversation. “Don't you have anything to shoot recently?" Sharon looked at Fern and asked. She did not know Fern had been banished from the entertainment industry but read some gossip reports that she was being boycotted. Fern lowered her gaze, hiding the complex emotions in her eyes. She smiled and said, "I'm not working right now. I’m still picking a script. I want to choose a good one."

We laughed, and he fist bumped me, almost knocking me down. "How was your journey like?" Laura asked, and I was curious too. "Hmm.. Let’s go inside and talk; besides Derek, where is your fiancée?" "Athena," I corrected him quickly, "is obsessed with preparing different concoctions and looking up new herbs now." She will be back soon. "That’s good; at least you won’t have to worry about getting hurt, since Athena is so good with herbs, you lucky fellow." He teased me this time. "Let’s go in; we need to talk." "You look so much tanner now since you left for the smaller pack territory." I was concerned.

” They take turns speaking, lip pouting and eyelids fluttering. I take in the scene before me as Marcus and Abner leave with Ashe in their arms. The demigod looking frail and withered instead of her normal powerful self. The triplet women give Xander one last wistful look and a scathing but appreciative look to Mathias. As they pass Finn the one with jet black hair lays a hand on his bicep and coos “Come visit us in Mount Xenia Finnegan Artos,” She winks and follows her sisters.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Fern. She’s frozen a few steps back, eyes wide, hand pressed to her chest like she can’t breathe. Her scent spikes, her fear bleeding into the air, and it slams into me harder than any blow ever could. “No,” she whispers. Her voice cuts through my fury like a blade. “Gaven, please.” I hesitate. Just for a second. Grace takes the moment to struggle harder, nails scraping, breath coming in ragged gasps. Fern stumbles forward, panic breaking loose now, tears spilling freely down her face.
